2 answers:
A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,
Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s
As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,
Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,
= 40 J

Answer:
2.7%
Explanation:
Given:
Uncertainty of the speedometer (u)= 2.5km/h
Speed measured at that uncertainty (v) = 92km/h
Percent uncertainty (p) is given as the ratio of the uncertainty to the speed measured then multiplied by 100%. i.e
p = %
p = %
p = 2.7%
Therefore, the percent uncertainty is 2.7%
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of jet
W = 2.25 × 10^6 N
It is at rest on the run way.
Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel
Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel
A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.
Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.
Check attachment for better understanding
So,
Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment
W × 5.4 = N × 16
2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N
N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16
N = 7.594 × 10^5 N
B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.
Using the second principle of equilibrium body.
Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces
ΣFy = 0
Nr + Nr + N — W = 0
2•Nr = W—N
2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5
2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6
Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2
Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N
